Free trading simulator with real market data
A good trading simulator reproduces what makes the real market hard: you do not know what comes next. Candlemind drops you into a random moment of real market history and asks you to make a decision.
What a useful simulator needs
- Real data, not invented prices: real market behaviour cannot be faked with random noise.
- A hidden future: if you can see what happened, you are not practicing.
- Complete orders: entry, stop loss, take profit, position size and spread.
- Decision grading, not just outcomes: a winning trade taken with excessive risk is still a mistake.
- Analysis tools: trend lines, Fibonacci, indicators and multiple timeframes.
How Candlemind works
Each lesson picks a random day and time since 2010. You get ten reads to step the chart forward; then you decide: buy, sell or stay out. Once you confirm the order, the real candles that followed play out until they hit your stop or your target.
The outcome becomes an Intelligence Score that rates the risk you took, your reward-to-risk, your stop placement, your market read and your discipline.
Frequently asked questions
Does the simulator use real data?
Yes. The one-minute candles come from real historical market data, and the same moment is never repeated for the same user.
Is it free?
Practicing is free. No real money is ever traded.
Can it prepare me for a prop firm challenge?
Yes. The Prop Challenge mode applies typical funded-account rules: a 10% profit target, a 5% daily loss limit and a 10% maximum loss.
